Scandal: The head of the House oversight panel suggests the real reason for the administration's invoking executive privilege in the Fast and Furious case is to hide proof that the operation was part of a push for gun control.
Defenders of President Obama's use of executive privilege to provide cover for Attorney General Eric Holder in the gun-running fiasco that resulted in the deaths of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and ICE Agent Jaime Zapata may dismiss it as just another conspiracy theory. But the suggestion by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., that the deadly operation was conceived to advance the administration's gun-control agenda is quite plausible.
"Here's the real answer as to gun control," Issa said on ABC's "This Week": "We have email from people involved in this that are talking about using what they're finding here to support the basically assault weapons ban or greater reporting."
Issa was asked about the possible connection after comments he made at an NRA convention. "Could it be," he said on NRA News' "Cam & Company" program, "that what they really were thinking of was in fact to use this walking of guns in order to promote an assault weapons ban? Many think so. And they haven't come up with an explanation that would cause any of us not to agree."

The individuals that were responsible for this should to a person stand trial for mass murder. Then upon conviction, they should be placed against a wall and shot for their Treason.
But, the Government as an entity must also surrender some power because of the abuse shown by these individuals. Especially due to the attempted cover up and contempt not only for Congress but for the American People that is being shown by these scum bags. A power cannot be abused that is not there to be abused. The Government has lost all credibility when it comes to 2nd Amendment issues.
Well that’s supposedly what the Constitution is for. A Con Con may be needed to put visible and explicit teeth in this “living” document. If it’s alive then it ought to be able to bite.
I had an interesting conversation with MADem at DU - very nasty twit, but has 4 trillion posts so I thought I’d engage her. Not get engaged to her.
There is this really soul-less feeling over there that (CAPS for screaming borderline personality disorder) “THIS IS NOT ABOUT BRIAN TERRY IF THEY DIDN’T GET THE GUNS FROM F&F THEY WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THEM ANYWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!.” While that in itself is a loaded statement, given the 3rd gun and the paid informants, keeping it unloaded ...
Does anyone notice the curiousness of this argument? (Not the callousness, the curiousness.)
(And I’m not talking here about the argument that “OK why don’t I just go sell some meth to the kids at Charlestown High School down the street, after all, they’ll get it anyway from somewhere.”)
Isn’t an argument that says ‘If it wasn’t Holder’s gun it would have been some other gun’ an argument that says “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people?” I knew it was too complex an idea to get across to the shrill sociopathic hag (as Ayn says - those who deny reason can not be conquered by it - just avoid them), but here in Boston there are 5 conservatives total, and I ran it by 2 of them (so 66.6% of Boston conservatives including me), and they thought it was kind of an ironic argument too.
Anyway - I’m new sort of. I know FR pretty well from reading for ten years or so ... thanks for having me. Oh I am a godfather to a cat with 26 claws which is two short of the world record. Polydactyl Maine Coon cats were very popular on British ships in the 16/17 hundreds ... thought to be good luck ... good friends ... and crazy hunters ... the extra two claws on each front foot form opposable thumbs. She’s very hungry and conservative and family lore says 1/32 Viking Indian. Can she play?
Forget about punishing the officials who want this they should simply be ousted.

Not only NO! But HELL NO!
These people, Obama and Holder, have killed in cold blood, you don’t just throw murderers out of office. These people need to be exposed and PUNISHED!
I have believed for a long time that Obama would not be the Democrat nominee for president for the next election and now I’m beginning to see why. Once Obama is exposed I just don’t see how he can continue to run. But then again I’m not very smart, I thought the semen stains on the blue dress would do Clinton in.
I wonder if Hillary will have any trouble beating Mitt Romnie.
I’m talking about thoughtcrime, not acted crimes. Trying to put a grudge over on a soulless object is silly.
Section 1Some people might think that section 3 is a bit over-the-top though.
The congress shall not have the power to regulate the value of the currency of the United States with respect to itself. The Dollar shall be equal to the one hundred twenty-eighth part of an avoirdupois ounce -- approximately 28.35 grams -- of gold, the impurities of which shall not exceed one part in ten-thousand,.
Section 2
The United States shall assume no debt which shall cause the total debt obligation to exceed one hundred and ten percent of the physical monies under the actual control of the treasury.
Section 3
The treasury shall make available to the congress and the public the total amount of the physical under the actual control of the treasury no less frequently than annually. Misrepresentation of this amount shall, upon conviction, carry the death penalty.
The one and only explanation left is that it was a deliberate act. And the only possible benefit the Regime could expect from such an act would be to gin up support for more gun control.
Im glad they are Finally Publicly saying these things, there is Evidence of exactly that. Just ask HILLARY the Beast,Diane Feinstein, Janet Napolitano who were touting the Lie That 90% Of the guns found in Mexico were coming from American Gun Shops,Fox at the time Debunked those Numbers. What Hillary and the rest were Doing was Pumping for Fast and Furious
That’s all this was about. It turned on them and bit them. They intended to claim that it was American guns that were killing people. Too bad there was a paper trail that was discovered when the border agent got shot.
Those hundreds of millions of dollars for the Clintons didn’t just come from speaking engagements and his retirement in such a short time. Wonder how deeply our government is involved in the drug trade?
